Queen of Angels Academy, a private all-girls high school that announced in January it was closing because of falling enrolment, is to be turned into a co-ed elementary school next fall. The school is working with Collège Sainte-Anne de Lachine, a French-language secondary school and bilingual CEGEP, to open the bilingual school on the Queen of Angels campus in Dorval.

Anne.
